The final remnants of the snow are finally disappearing. A bit of action offshore. 58 Cormorants north 11 south, 36 Brents north 7 south, 5 Red-throated Divers north, 5 Common Scoter north, 4 Great-crested Grebe south, 2 Pintail north, 1 Red-breasted Merganser north & 1 south. An immature male Eider came in from offshore, pitched in for a while and did some ducking and diving, then flew up river. A Canada Goose flew south just offshore which is a bit early in the year for this species to start going walkabout. Finally 2 Snow Buntings were on the beach & at least one Woodcock is still with us.
